Affiliate & Referral System

The Affiliate & Referral System in Movie Engine allows users to promote your platform and earn commissions by referring new customers. Each user gets a unique referral link, and when someone signs up or makes a purchase through that link, the referrer earns a reward.

This system transforms your users into marketers, helping you grow your platform organically while only paying for actual results.

🎯 Why Use a Referral System

• Increase user acquisition without upfront marketing cost
• Reward loyal users for promoting your platform
• Create viral growth through sharing
• Boost subscription and purchase conversions

🔗 How It Works

Basic Flow

1. User gets a unique referral link
2. Shares the link (social media, friends, etc.)
3. New user registers using the link
4. When the referred user makes a purchase → commission is generated
5. Earnings are added to the referrer account
